Erin Puck founded Toys.Calm in Silver City, New Jersey, at the age of 12 while undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for a malignant brain tumor.She understood that children in hospital were scared, tired and bored and needed to play and cuddle.
Today, with the help of Erin's family and a few volunteers, Toys.Calm has delivered over 75,000 toys and more than 125 laptops to hospitals such as Robert Wood Johnson, Jersey Shore Medical and Monmouth Medical, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Currently Erin is studying political science at Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

Toys.Calm has brightened Timmy's days with toys, educational materials and emotional support (Erin you are wonderful!) Toys.Calm has helped Timmy be happy and stay strong in his battle against a brain tumor."

As a former patient, Erin knows what it is like to have an extended hospital stay, so she knows what it takes to make a patient smile.
